✅CANCER TREATMENT MODALITIES

Resisting Cell Death

• Cell death resistance is a self-defense mechanism against cancer.

Apoptosis Triggers

• DNA Damage Sensors: Detect and respond to DNA damage, initiating cell death when necessary.

• Limited Survival Cues: Lack of essential growth signals can trigger apoptosis.

• Overactive Signaling Proteins: Hyperactive signals can lead to cancer, and apoptosis is one possible outcome.

Necrosis

• Definition: An uncontrolled form of cell death that can lead to cell explosion.

• Effect on Cancer: Destroys (pre)cancerous cells, potentially halting the spread of cancer.

• Chemical Release: Necrosis releases chemicals that may promote growth in surrounding cells.
